a set of flags ("flags"). Two flags are defined, UPDATE_WAIT and
UPDATE_DIROP.
Under the old semantics, VOP_UPDATE would block if waitfor were set,
under the assumption that directory operations should be done
synchronously. At least LFS and FFS+softdep do not make this
assumption; FFS+softdep got around the problem by enclosing all relevant
calls to VOP_UPDATE in a "if(!DOINGSOFTDEP(vp))", while LFS simply
ignored waitfor, one of the reasons why NFS-serving an LFS filesystem
did not work properly.
Under the new semantics, the UPDATE_DIROP flag is a hint to the
fs-specific update routine that the call comes from a dirop routine, and
should be wait for, or not, accordingly.

contains the values __SIMPLELOCK_LOCKED and __SIMPLELOCK_UNLOCKED, which
replace the old SIMPLELOCK_LOCKED and SIMPLELOCK_UNLOCKED. These files
are also required to supply inline functions __cpu_simple_lock(),
__cpu_simple_lock_try(), and __cpu_simple_unlock() if locking is to be
supported on that platform (i.e. if MULTIPROCESSOR is defined in the
_KERNEL case). Change these functions to take an int * (&alp->lock_data)
rather than the struct simplelock * itself.
These changes make it possible for userland to use the locking primitives
by including <machine/lock.h>.
MALLOC()/FREE().
- In ktrgenio():
- Don't allocate the entire size of the I/O for the temporary
buffer used to write the data to the trace file. Instead,
do it in page-sized chunks.
- As in uiomove(), preempt the process if we are hogging the CPU.
- If writing to the trace file errors, abort rather than continuing
to loop through the buffer.

by me.
symlinks, and thus can operate on symlinks. remove a bogus comment in
chflags(1) that claims symlinks do not have file flags.
XXX: todo -- make chflags(1) use lchflags(2) when given the right options.
getnewvnode() has been changed to virtually guarantee that we'll have more
vnodes than "desired", so previously there would always be more vnodes
than namecache entries. this fixes PR 9792.
* Remove the casts to vaddr_t from the round_page() and trunc_page() macros to
make them type-generic, which is necessary i.e. to operate on file offsets
without truncating them.
* In due course, cast pointer arguments to these macros to an appropriate
integral type (paddr_t, vaddr_t).
